3. The backlash of the speech spirit

Later, Cheng Yun's father, Cheng Chuan, also came. With not enough hands in the family, even Cheng Yun's younger brother, Cheng Bao who was a Ge'er, came out to help with the work.

Cheng Yun has already been married off, and his family doesn't usually talk to him much when he's outside. But the environment at home is not good, and they occasionally send some food to Cheng Yun and his husband, like homemade steamed buns and vegetables. They are not expensive but practical.

Today, when Cheng Chuan saw Cheng Yun also came out to help, he didn't come himself and instead let Cheng Bao bring some things to Cheng Yun.

Looking at the two big steamed buns and a few vegetables in the basket, Cheng Yun's heart was in turmoil.

Cheng Bao didn't know what was on his mind. The two brothers grew up together. In the past, as the eldest son in the family, Cheng Yun took on the responsibility of a mother when their mother was ill. In order to relieve the pressure on the family, Cheng Yun also married Yang Hongjin. Cheng's family had always felt guilty towards Cheng Yun, especially Cheng Bao.

Cheng Yun only returned to his family once after getting married, and he rarely saw his family since then. Cheng Bao was very happy to see his brother today.

"Brother, this is what Mom said to give you." Cheng Bao was shorter than Cheng Yun, looking thin, but quite handsome. His eyes were shining when he saw Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun took the things and remembered how the original owner used to interact with his family. He reached out and touched Cheng Bao's head, "Tell mom not to worry so much when you go back. Your brother can take care of himself."

Cheng Bao nodded and glanced over at Yang Hongjin, then turned back to Cheng Yun, "How is he?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how is he as a person?" Cheng Bao blushed, as if he was talking bad about someone behind their back and being questioned, "I heard from people in the village that he has a bad head since childhood and can't do anything without help. He's not a bad person, but won't my brother be tired taking care of him all the time?"

Cheng Yun chuckled and poked his forehead, "You're small but clever." He thought about the original owner's life and said, "When your brother was at home, he still had to take care of you and mom. Yang is not a bad guy, and we've separated now. There's not much work to do at home, so we're actually more relaxed than before."

Cheng Bao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Cheng Yun about some gossip before being called back by Cheng Chuan to work.

Cheng Yun looked over at Cheng Chuan from afar, they exchanged a glance, and Cheng Yun nodded to him. Cheng Chuan waved his hand in response.

The images from the original owner's memories lingered in Cheng Yun's mind, and he stood there for a moment before sighing.

After finishing his on-site inspection, Cheng Yun went home. He couldn't help much with work in the fields, so he instructed Yang Hongjin to remember to drink water when he's thirsty, and to hurry back home after finishing work. He left as Yang Hongjin watched him leave with reluctance.

Upon returning home, Cheng Yun carefully examined his home environment.

The house they currently lived in was assigned to them by the Yang family. The Yang family was considered upper-middle class in the village. This was due to Yang Hongjin's birth mother having good conditions in the past, bringing along a considerable dowry, and also thanks to Yang Dashui's savings from working outside when he was younger. This was also the reason why Yang Dashui was able to find a new wife so quickly after Yang Hongjin's birth mother passed away.
